Lei's Real Talk youtube show is pretty crackpotty but i've been listening to it lately for rumint. Which is slightly better than citing something you dreamt about (aka DREAMINT). Anywho this happened. Its not a trend or anything...just some PRC infantry fighting vehicle did something dumb and a bunch of VIP observers got smoke grenaded....hee hee.

Wait...now that is a great idea for his entrance song. Get Harry Shearer on the phone!

Him doing "Kick out the Jams" would be awesome if they could get rid of the cusses in the song.

Just came across this. Detroit on opening day should have some someone do a live version of "Kick out the Jams" or "Locomotion" or if only we knew someone who could do this...who was a Tiger fan..."7 Nation Army"

No counter-protests whatsoever here. I think that's the thing that results from all the chaos in the MAGA movement.

One of the good signs today was "Stormy Daniels was the only person hired by Trump who was qualified to do her job"

MLB.TV was hot garbage tonight. Kept crapping out right during pitches.

Has Jason Benetti done the Mr. Burns "See my Vest, made from real gorilla chest" thing with Will Vest yet?

This one seems pretty fixed by the homeplate umpire.

I recommend you put your shoes on next time and go talk to some folks. Maybe that's like saying go touch grass or whatever. In my little corner of the World, it was a lot of people who are definitely inside the leviathan; who grew up in a system with rules who are shocked and dismayed at the lack of any kind of consequences for all this criminality.

Yes, I'm annoyed you don't think 50% of the people at these protests give an actual ****. That's pretty awful.

You can bet all you like. Use the same apps the white house does when they use insider information to manipulate the betting markets. Or, you can bet that the people in Minnesota who were pissed off at the execution of Pretti and Good were just there because of their instagram accounts. Go sell lazy someplace else.

Andor Severance Paradise The Pitt Pluribus Kevin McGonigle's 8th inning AB last night. Man, there are some great shows out lately

Where I was the cops were on scene too. Its planned and organized. The protest has marshals who wear vests and make sure nobody is getting to crazy.

I spoke to a woman for over an hour whose dad was an Air Force officer and she and i were fixated on how the system used to have rules. You abided by them and you could have a career even if you were a Dominican Republic immigrant as her dad was. Spoke to a buckeye fan and commiserated about the angst we had on the day of The Game and how we felt that way all the time now but in a bad way. Spoke to a bunch of vets. Had another long chat with a dude about Andor (see the Nemik quote poster above “Opression is the mask of fear”)

There is an interesting note about the "bad british food" trope. I was watching a video on food rationing in Britain during the war and then for nearly 10 years after WWII. Of course you are going to lock in some bland food choices if you don't have options. People who are jonesing for some jam or butter for their bread or a few ounces of chocolate per week are not going to have extravagant cuisine. Laterly, there have been a lot of foodie types in the UK because it became like any other over-done middle class eccentric thing. David Mitchell referred to them as anorak trainspotters who just turned the trainspotting to food.

not for discussion here. It was good and look for my commentary elsewhere.
